Richard joined Seattle’s staff in 2010 after spending two seasons at USC as a graduate assistant/defensive backs coach. He takes over one of the best defenses over the past three seasons as it led the NFL in scoring defense for the third consecutive season (2012-14), becoming the first defense to accomplish that feat since the 1969-71 Purple People Eaters of the Minnesota Vikings, and third overall in NFL history. The Seahawks also became the fourth team in NFL history to lead the league in fewest points and yards allowed in back-to-back seasons, and first since the 1985-86 Chicago Bears.
